The second half of the last Patreon episode did counter a few of the criticisms here: he says his latest bout of depression is largely due to the fans mustering up a posse to go after almost anyone the pod happens to mention. 
I fucking hate the people who have a go at Tom Myers on twitter. 4chan style trolls are one thing, they at least know they're contemptible. But the rose-emoji Chapo crowd who dogpile someone harmless like Myers are just utterly hypocritical cunts.

This new episode... marone, nicks gonna relapse soon. Dead soon also.

Just tried listening to this. Maybe ten or fifteen years ago. I find it wearing. Whoever that laugh belongs to is cursed.

lol waht an unique criticism of the show lol

I've never paid any attention to either the show or the criticism of it, but it doesn't surprise me. I couldn't be friends with anyone who had that sneering laugh so I don't want to subject myself to it. The name alone previously put me off but someone posted a clip in another thread which I thought was 'lively' and I thought I'd give an episode a go. Snark snark snark snark snark. Like listening to some depressed twenty five year old acting up and swearing a little too loud in public because they think strangers will be impressed or hopefully intimidated. I'm sure there's some very funny material when the stars occasionally align but it's all too mean-spirited and grubby for me, like minesweeping out of an ashtray.

My man be having a history with mental illness: https://m.imgur.com/es8VUUE

I think giving this man benzos is a bad idea, but then again I'm not a morbidly obese, toothless, bald, Greek man.

Medicated Nick lends a nice, cosy atmosphere to the pod. This last premium reminded me of early episodes.

That sounds a lot like the way Bill Burr fans get so weird about him having even slightly different opinions to them (especially regarding women). Or complaining about him being married to someone who disagrees with him politically instead of being the theoretically pure black-pilled incel they want him to be.

Actively jealous of mullens story from this premium episode I'm listening to of playing Tony hawk high with unlimited grind cheat on, sounds super blissful

Same, but for the story about getting really high and painstakingly harassing a Chinese NPC out of town in Red Dead Redemption.

Z

I don't really get why Mullen hasn't mentioned schizophrenia as a possibility that I can recall. The obsessive tendencies totally play into that, the "autism" traits kinda do, the more delusional ones absolutely do, and he spent his formative years taking fucking tons of weed iirc.


What's up with Stav and his tooth? That guy seems absurdly depressed these days and the fact that he can afford a house but can't be arsed sorting out his tooth sounds kinda concerning in itself.

Hank Venture

A house in Baltimore that ha shares with his two brothers*

His two brothers btw: one's got absurdly good hair genes, the other is really fit. Stav is neither, like a Greek tragedy.

And Stav was the test tube baby...

Re: his tooth, he mentioned in one of the 'depressed' crippled podcasts (I think) that he knows he's absurd looking so decided to just lean into it.

I think gums need to grow back to a certain extent before a new tooth can be bolted in, but it'd be interesting if he just committed fully to turning into this living Adult Swim character before an untimely but unsurprising death.

For something that's so transparently ridiculous, you could write a thesis on this podcast even if you hate it. There's the political angle, the ironic racism, the free speech reaction, the bullying, the relationships between them, the addition of a ton of cash, the alt-right fan boys and now the mental illness journey. It was so strange hearing Mullen going from that manic episode on the peeds to the recent electric-cord chewing breakdown. There's a lot there.

Schnapple

Absolutely, I genuinely find the dynamics on this podcast to be pretty intricate and fascinating. Post-breakdown, Nick really does seem to be distancing himself from the arsehole fan community and making a point of more explicitly kicking against the pricks. Of course, there's still room to be completely, inventively disgusting.

The live show recording was interesting in so much as it really showcased how Stav and even Adam are more talented performers, and definitely the audience surrogate, whereas Nick (who I hugely relate to) was very much just a contributor in this instance.

I havent been listening to this lately but I want to get back into it.
Around what episode does the recent breakdown saga begin? This will be my point of re-entry.

Z

It's been fairly gradual but around the time of Tom Myers episode was when it shot up I'd say. Need to be listening to the premium episodes to get the full story though (the SP episodes were a premium, iirc)

That Nig Bose bit, how quickly it was synthesized, proves irrefutably that irony poisoning is real. Goddamn..

Sin Agog

Been digging their recent Tokyo Stories.  Just discovered this set they did in Japan a few days ago that has all of 1 view.  Worth a play for Nick's improv'd line about automated harakiri bots. The last act is Nick's girlfriend. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6aBI3uoBv6I

non capisco

Here's a curio, a nascent barely out of his teens Austin era Mullen from 2010 doing his occasionally mentioned 'The Blind Side' routine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeASSA-wjXU

"Well, there's always next year".

That left hand crowd silhouette looks like Stav to me.


Z

Fully caught up on Cum Town now, regular episodes and premiums... where can I go from here?

Sin Agog

I think I posted a link somewhere in the thread of pods Nick has guested on.  Most of them suffer from older, insecure comics talking over him*, but there are still some good riffs.

The two recent Adam-less episodes are, I hate to say, so much better.  Stav and Nick just feed on each other's uninterrupted silliness, and Nick laughs so much more in them.  I get the vibe that the two of them also facilitate each other's depressive tendencies, so better Adam be in the mix and occasionally ruin the flow, than have death really ruin it.



*Kurt Metzger is the worst at this.  You can see him getting demonstrably more squirrelly whenever people are laughing too much at Nick's riffs.  He even yells at him to shut up a few times so he can go on some trite rant about wimmin or whatever.  Jim Norton's the same.  Whereas Bobby Kelly really warmed up to Nick, despite taking exception to his cold, dead shark eyes at first.
